Samsung t349 Prepaid Phone, Silver/Lime (T-Mobile) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On June 24, 2009, I bought this phone to replace my old tried and true workhorse the Moto Razr V3 phone that I had been using on my T-Mobile Pre-Paid plan. And after much studying different newer cell phones, I wanted to upgrade my tried and true Razr so I could email and text and have more features than my Razr V3 had.
BEST FEATURES OF THIS PHONE:
1) Most important, you can really hear the other person on this phone and they can hear you! Also, on the left side of the phone is a up and down key for loudness in the headset. Very handy! (The reason that I mention this first is many cell phones do not have a built in volume button and some cell phones are just plain hard to hear on unless you put in the headphones or use the speaker phone). By the way, the volume on this phone is very loud when you select the volume button and the speaker phone is very loud on full volume.
2) You can set the left "envelope" key for email or IM, or any message things. I set mine to email.
3) The EMAIL can be browsed for free, however, to view or read or send an email in the pre-paid plan on T-Mobile it is 20 cents per read or send. I found this out the hard way when I got carried away and sent several emails and read several. I learned to open the most IMPORTANT ones or better yet to "window shop" the emails and later open them up on my laptop. However, I did find this feature so handy when I was away from my computer and needed to check my emails in a pinch!
4) EMAILS: You can have more than one email account. For instance, YAHOO, AOL, and more. The set up is easy.
5) INTERNET BROWSER: No, it is not a IE Browser! It is a WEB TO GO BROWSER that has: 1) My account, 2) Downloads (for music and sound effect ring tones and gifts) 3) Web to Go Browser has: 1) CNN 2) ESPN 3) ABC News 4) (Can't remember this one)
6) Camera with 1.3 pixels (so so pictures, great to send and they even let you add a voice to the pictures). You can send them to your internal SD mini memory card (must purchase as this is not included), you can email the picture, send it to the T-Mobile Album in your page on T-Mobile and MORE!
7) Video camera, again this is not a fancy video, however the same applies you can email the video, and more!!!!
8) Voice recorder - I like that because you can record your voice and then email it to someone or just do a to do list in a recording.
9) Very user friendly phone with MANY more features.
10) A great FIRST TEXTING phone that is not that expensive! I bought this to see how I would like texting, emailing etc and found that I really do so this phone is great to have when I am not around my computer at home.
11) The MP3 Player. After I installed the mini SD memory card (which I placed some of my MP3 music collection on), I played the music with and without the headphones. With the headphones, the music is wonderful and a rich sound. Without, not too bad either. Also, in the options, you can set any of your MP3 songs from your mini SD card to be a ring tone. I had fun with that one and added several songs to my ring tones right from my own memory card in the phone!
12) BATTERY LIFE: Just to be on the safe side, I charge this phone every night and then the next morning, I take the phone with me. After heavy usage, texting, talking, browsing and learning the features, listening to the MP3 player in the phone, etc, after about 4 hours of doing the things, I still had 4 bars on the battery! And to remedy the battery situation back to 5 bars, I quickly placed it on my car charger and after driving around just 30 minutes, the phone's battery had 5 bars once again (full battery), so that quickly fixed the problem until I could arrive home and place it on the home charger. My old Razr V3's battery lasted longer (both in talk time and standby time - just about double the time of the Samsung T349), however, I also did not use the Razr except for just talking once in a while.
All in all, this is a SUPERB phone with lots of great features and it is very easy to learn to use this phone in my opinion! I am very glad that I bought this phone, I highly recommend this phone!

Motorola W260g Prepaid Phone (Tracfone) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a slim flip style phone that you get the basic description up above. I will concentrate reviewing what may help you decide if it's right for you.
First go to the Tracfone website to do several things. You will input your zip code to see what phones are available in your area (on the buy phone tab). After confirming your city, carefully check the web address page that will appear in your browser. Somewhere in the string of characters there will be either a GSM5AT (ATT and Tmobile), GSM5 (Tmobile), or GSM4 (ATT). Those are the two providers that Tracfone currently uses. This code will tell you who is in your area. If you are lucky to be in a dual provider area, select your W260g (or actually any other) carefully by looking at the white label on the bottom of the box (if shopping in a store). The phones (and sim cards) are specific to only one provider. The top line of the white label will have a string that will contain either TFMTW260SP5PSDM (Tmobile) or TFMTW260SP4SDM (ATT). Pick a phone for a provider that you have better coverage with in the area that you will be using the phone most often. You cannot swap a P4 sim into a P5 phone and vice versa. They are sold married to each other only.
Second, select this phone in a "Bonus Pack" package only. It is only a couple of bucks more and includes car and home charger, a case, earphone and most important "Free Double Minutes For Life" (FDML). That is what the last two digits in the code above stand for. This means when you buy a 60 minute card, you will get 120 minutes, etc.
Third, always Google "bonus codes" and Tracfone when buying air time for current offers that will add even more minutes to your card/phone. I typically buy a 60 minute card, get double minutes up to 120, then get 60 additional bonus code minutes. So a 60 minute card can get you 180 minutes.
Fourth, activate on line on Tracfone website. You will get 10 minutes free.
Fifth, when you first get assigned a new phone number, be aware that someone may have had it before you. They may have had a "history", such as bad credit. If you don't want to load up your voice mail with unwanted messages, do not set up the voice mail for a couple of weeks, or have Tracfone "unset it" up for you. You can also set the unwanted caller numbers up as "ignore a, b, c, d etc" in the directory. You then hit "ignore" soft button (the one on the right of select circle)when they call, and not lose any minutes.
Now the rest of the review. The phone looks nice and modern with a sleek shiny black surface. Feels good in the hand. The charging and earphone openings have plastic covers that swing out of the way when needed. Unfortunately when you unplug the charger you tend to grab the both the plug and the cover, and the plug feels like it does not want to come out, or worse it does come out with the plastic cover.
The battery life seems optimistic at 6.5 hours talk time and 18 days standby. While futzing with the phone and all its features (not on the air, but with screen on all the time) I managed to run down the battery in about 3 hours. Not using the phone much at all I had to recharge it in 4 days. That is still good for a GSM phone.
Keypad is just OK, the circular pad is a bit small and I wind up occasionally hitting one of the arrows rather than the center circle.
The screen quality is good. You can only set the contrast, not the brightness. The various W260s I saw, had a good degree of variation between them some bright with a bluish tinge, some dimmer and yellowish. Both are very acceptable.
The reception and voice quality are good to very good (not excellent). I had both the Tmobile and ATT versions, and in my case the ATT had much better signal strength.
The supplied earphone (bonus pack) is single ear, pretty good quality, the clip on holster is very good, and both home and car chargers fully recharge the batteries in about three hours (updated information).
PS Tracfone customer support has been excellent. They answer on the first ring, sometimes are a bit difficult to understand, but get the job done.

The perfect complement to Tracfone prepaid wireless service, the sleek, lightweight Motorola W260g offers an affordable way to stay in touch with family and friends across town and around the globe via voice communication and text messaging. Offering the best of the basics for work and play, the W260g provides easy access to your text messages, a unique external display with light-up icons that signal new messages, speakerphone, 2.5mm headset jack, and up to 6.5 hours of talk time.

Tracfone Service Tracfone provides nationwide prepaid wireless service using the nation's leading cellular providers to create a national footprint covering 99 percent of the U.S. population. This gives you connectivity everywhere cellular service is available. You can use your Tracfone across the U.S. and if you move, you can relocate your wireless number with just a phone call.
You can buy bundles of minutes (which must be used within a set time limit of between 90 to 365 days) from the Tracfone web site on your home PC or directly from your phone's web browser. For example, if you purchase a block of 120 minutes of airtime, you'll need to use that within 90 days of your first use. When you buy additional airtime minutes, your Tracfone service is extended automatically by another 90 days. Tracfone also offers international long distance calling to over 60 international destinations (including Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, most European countries, and many more), which deducts the same amount of minutes from your phone as when you make calls to destinations within the U.S.
This phone ships with a number of handy Tracfone services, including free voice mail, free caller ID, and free call waiting. And perhaps most importantly, the integrated TracFone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left, so you can control your costs. You must activate your cell phone before use either by calling the Tracfone toll-free number or going to the Tracfone web site.
Phone Features Weighing in at an ultra-light 3.3-ounces, the super-slim W260g fits comfortably in your hand and flips open effortlessly to reveal a large and vivid full-color 128 x 128 screen and streamlined keypad. Instead of an external LCD, the W260g sports a series of unique, light-up icons that signal new messages, low battery, and other events. Most of the phone's features and on-screen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's backlit control pad. Use the phone's stereo-compatible 2.5mm headset jack with your favorite stereo earphones or hands-free headset.
The W260g's internal phonebook can hold up to 500 contacts and includes picture phonebook options, and it will display the last 10 dialed/received/missed calls. It supports 32-chord polyphonic ringtones, and you can switch it over to vibrate mode when you need to keep things silent.
This Motorola phone includes the innovative CrystalTalk technology, which automatically accounts for background noise during a call and adjusts the audio quality based on ambient noise conditions to provide the optimal conversational experience. CrystalTalk also reduces the volume of the background noise picked up by the microphone during a call, making it possible to be more easily heard over the phone while in a noisy environment.
If you need basic messaging capabilities, the W260g has you covered as support is built-in for sending and receiving SMS text messages. The iTap predictive text technology is built into the unit, which autocompletes text for you as you type on the alpha-numeric keypad and offers options for selecting the correct word.
Other features include:
Tracfone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left
Organizer tools: Calendar, alarm, calculator, currency converter
Speakerphone
Includes 35 ringtones; compatible with 32-chord polyphonic ringtones
Vibrating alert
Hearing Aid Rating: M3, T3

Vital Statistics The Motorola W260g weighs 3.17 ounces and measures 3.74 x 1.77 x 0.67 inches. Its 940 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6.5 hours of talk time, and up to 432 hours (18 days) of standby time. It runs on the 850/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS frequencies.

Samsung t239 Prepaid Phone, Charcoal (T-Mobile) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm looking at the Samsung T239 manual right now (pg. 60) and it certainly DOES vibrate. The other reviewer is referring only to the alarm. And while dedicated web and mail keys may seem unnecessary on a prepaid phone, where you wouldn't expect a lot of Internet access, this phone is also used with other types of T-Mobile plans.
One other thing. The product description has an error. While text messages on T-Moble's monthly plans are $0.20 to send and receive, on the prepaid plans they are $.10 to send and $.05 to receive. Go figure.

MOTOROLA W376G Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this Motorola Trac Fone for about 6 months and have been very pleased. It has excellent reception and sound quality. The built in speaker phone is also very good. The camera is just so-so, but that's not why I bought the phone.
I like buying my minutes only as I need them and you just have to purchase more within 90 days. When you purchase more, it just adds them to your current balance. If you don't purchase within the 90 day limit (a countdown is always visible on the screen) the phone shuts off and you lose whatever minutes you had. You can reactivate just by purchasing more minutes but you don't regain any you lost by not purchasing within the 90 day limit. You can purchase minutes on line at Tracfone or set up your phone to purchase. Your minute balance is also always on the screen. Mine came with 15 minutes to get me started. You can activate at the Tracfone web site and set up an account to buy more minutes. You can also call from the phone to activate and set up an account to purchase minutes that way.
Good things:
-Inexpensive to purchase (less than $30)
-Reasonable rates. I'm paying about 10 cents per minute
-Automatically doubles minutes for life of phone (buy 60 get 120)
-If you lose it, buy another, call Tracfone operator to transfer your number and minutes
-Bright clear screen
-Good sound quality
-Good reception
-Good number of ring tones and images to select from
-AC Charger is included
-FM radio included (earphone not included and it takes a micro plug, not a mini)
-Basic games included
-Internet access (but slow)
-Periodic email offers from Tracfone for discounted minutes (which double)
-Monthly plans if you want them
-Good battery life (I do not use the phone often so 1 charge will last several days)
-Minutes never expire as long as you renew within 90 days
-No contracts or agreements. Tired of it? Toss it.
-Sim chip, you can move to another phone and keep your address book
-Settings for indoor/outdoor ring
Bad things:
-No holster/case (buy one at Target)
-Somewhat larger in size and a little heavier than most cells
-Ring tones downloaded only from Tracfone site
-Cannot connect to PC/laptop (port is only for charging)
-Buttons take some getting used to, like the menus
-You pay for everything, no free or unlimited (3 text messages = 1 minute)
-You will receive free advertising from Tracfone but occasional advertising from others, if you accept the message, you get charged for it. (charge is about 1 text message)
-Charging port and earphone port (opposite sides of the phone) are difficult to open. I can't quite get my fingernail under it so I have to use a small pen knife
I'm very pleased with the phone and service. I dropped my other service and have been happy not to be billed every month for minutes I didn't use. I'm not a strong user of cell phones so it fits my life style. I have service wherever I travel, including remote areas. Your carrier will depend on your part of the country. We have AT&T here.
I may buy another for my wife who doesn't like cell phones but I'll feel better knowing she can call if she needs to. I can buy 60 minutes (120) for $20 and she's good for 90 days. When it gets close I'll just order the minimum again.

Samsung T139 Prepaid Phone (T-Mobile) Review

(More customer reviews)I got this phone for 4 bucks from Tmobile when they ran the special that comes with a free $[...] gift card. ($[...] total). Obviously I have no complaints about the price. It's an ok phone. Nice size buttons and they are raised so you don't have to use your finger nail to punch in a number. Fairly decent display but only 3 or 4 wallpapers which are not so hot. Sound could be better but I'm still testing. Sound is the most important thing to me. But, since it has a camera, I began taking lots of pictures. Then I bought a data cable to transfer them all over to the PC. Turns out, this phone does not support data cable transfer even though Tmobile and Samsung and a bazillion merchants on the internet sell a data cable for this phone. Pretty crappy arrangement for a camera phone (not to mention costly). Without data transfer, it costs you 25 cents per picture to email it to yourself in order to get it on your computer. Just so you know the score and don't spend days (as I did) trying to get this matter straightened out with the seller, Tmobile and Samsung.

Motorola W370 Prepaid Phone (Tracfone) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this phone as soon as it hit store shelves, I had read about it on Tracfone's website, and wanted it as an upgrade for my old Motorola C139 Tracfone.
After having it setup, I loved it! It was a huge upgrade from the C139 with it's MP3 ringtones, sleak flip phone design, (looks alot like the Moto KRZR, I call it the TRZR) high resolution display, and mobile web browsing!
However, as much as I like this phone, it's not without it's issues...
Since I had just switched my service over from an older Tracfone, I couldn't access the web browser. Whenever I tried, I got a message saying, "There was a problem authorizing your account, please contact Tracfone customer service at, 1-800 ***-****" Getting my web browser functioning after that point was a huge headache... Tracfone's customer service representitives, while very nice and eager to help, are often not quite up-to-date with Tracfone's newest features, and some of them don't speak English very well... It took me 2 phone calls, (because the first time I got someone who had no clue what I was talking about) and the second time around I spent most of the afternoon on the phone until the problem was resolved.
Now the web browser is up and running, but I have a complaint about that as well... The so-called "Web Browser" can only access Tracfone's website at this time... Sure, you can still use it to download ringtones & graphics, read the news, check the weather forecast, etc, but when they say "Web Browser" I was expecting something more along the lines of what the other wireless phone companies have... Granted that their web browser function is a relatively new addition to Tracfone's wireless service, but I hope that they'll expand it, and soon!
Also, my particular W370 Tracfone has a weak 5 button that is not very responsive, and it'll sometimes unexpectedly turn itself off while I'm typing a text message, but that's just mine... I do have a 1 year replacement plan on my phone, but after the headache I went through to get the web browser up and running, I've decided to wait until either the last minute or the phone breaks completely (whatever comes first) to replace it.
Overall, this is a very nice cell phone, great as an upgrade or replacement for an older phone, but if you are upgrading from an older Tracfone that didn't include a web browser function, be prepared for some difficulty...
Overall Rating: 3.5 Stars
UPDATE 5/3/08 I finally used the replacement plan to get a new W370 Tracfone, this new one's 5 button works just fine and the phone doesn't turn itself off like my old one did either. Even after all this time, the Web Browser remains unchanged... Disappointing, but at least I didn't have to call tracfone to get it set up like last time.

Samsung a107 Prepaid GoPhone (AT&T) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got this phone for when my mom-in-law is visiting from Taiwan.
Looks like a good basic phone. Voice quality during test calls in our house was decent.
My main issue is with the included $15 Airtime Credit. There was no Pay As You Go card included, after activation I could not make any calls, and AT&T's web site claimed "Need Initial Refill," so I "refilled" my phone account via credit card with $15. About *two hours* after activation, I received an SMS that the original $15 Airtime Credit was added to my account. Had I known, I would not have "refilled" my account.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What services will trigger the daily charge on the $2 Unlimited Daily Talk & Text plan? A: Services that trigger the charge are: a voice call (including calls to voice mailbox), using IM, sending a text, picture/video/sound message. The use of data (Pay Per Use or Package), does not trigger the daily charge.

Q: May I add a data feature package to the 30-day $60 Unlimited Talk & Text or $75 Unlimited Talk & Text Plus 200MB Data rate plans? A: No. The only options for these two plans is the Pay-Per-Use data rate of $.01/KB included in the plans. Once a customer on the $75 Unlimited Talk & Text Plus 200MB Data Plan exhausts their 200MB, they will revert to the Pay-Per-Use data rate of $.01/KB included in the plans.

Q: What if I don't use all of my data on the $75 Unlimited Talk & Text Plus 200 MB rate plan within 30 days? A: You begin each 30 day period with a new allocation of 200 MB to use; there is no 'rollover' of unused data.

National Geographic Talk Abroad SIM,1070 International SIM Card Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this sim card because it seemed like a good concept and as a National Geographic Society member, I trusted that they had done their homework before putting their name on a product of this sort. Unlike some other reviewers, I read the description and was aware of the call-back feature. In practice, it worked well enough in the UK, but in the Netherlands, it could only receive calls. When I tried to make a call, I received a message: "you are forbidden to make this call." And no callback. I ended up buying a Dutch sim card for 10 euros and it worked fine.
On my return to the US, I went back to the Amazon website and got permission to return the card, hoping to get a partial refund (I obviously did not expect a full refund, since the card worked fine in the UK). I sent it back and now, 2 months later, have not received a refund, nor has the card been returned to me. You would think that if the company felt I was not entitle to a refund, they would at least have the decency to return the card to me, since it must have had at least $30 of credit on it.
The bottom line is that in most situations you are much better off buying local sim cards abroad. Apparently the attractive idea of using a single sim card throughout much of the world is difficult to implement, and in any event this company cannot be trusted to deal honestly with its customers.

Starcom Arc Prepaid Phone (Virgin Mobile) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)EDIT - After owning this phone for close to a year, I figured I would update my review. Just a few cons I've discovered -- the speakerphone is way too quiet to be useful, especially in the car (which is where I want it in the first place). And I have noticed the battery cover tends to pop off once in a while if the phone is in my jeans pocket. Other than that, I still love it. It's nice and thin, features are great for the price, and battery life is very good. Probably the best inexpensive phone that Virgin offers, go for it!
My original review:
Just picked up two of these, one for me and one for my wife. There's really nothing bad to say about this phone.
It's THIN, has a camera and bluetooth and speakerphone! Pretty much has and does anything you need a phone to do. Plus it's Virgin, so if you don't use your phone too much, it's very economical!!!
I guess if I had to give any cons about it, it would be the camera is only VGA (were you expecting any better for a $50 phone?) and the buttons are a little small (same with about 90% of other phones on the market).
I love it!

LG LX 125 Refurbished Prepaid Phone for Kids, Silver (Kajeet) with 1 year of GPS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This phone were a real disappointment. I wouldn't recommend buying one. We've used Kajeet for two years with other phones and the service was everything that they advertise ( cheap, kid friendly, reliable). Unfortunately, not this time. I ordered two of the LG LX125 phones and neither can connect with the Kajeet network. We have another Kajeet phone (LG Rumor) at the same location which works beautifully, so I'm betting that the phones are defective. After a series of phone calls and emails, I still can't get an answer as to whether the phones are defective or the Kajeet network doesn't support them. So far all, I've gotten is promises that someone is working on the issue and will call me back. We've been doing this for three weeks. Unfortunately by trying to work with Kajeet, we have gone through the window that one of the phones can be returned to Amazon. Kajeet refused to honor the warranty saying that we had to go through Amazon. I'm still trying to get a refund for the activation fees and the month of service so we'll see. But so far, we have two silver door stops and two really disappointed children.

About Kajeet
Kajeet was founded by three three dads figuring out how technology, kids and parents work best ("Kajeet" is an anagram of the first letters of the names of the company's founders' children). Kajeet's entire philosophy springs from a simple core idea: kids are smart. And they should be agile with technology, empowered and safe, and be able to respond with confidence to what's happening in their world.

Because having a cell phone is not just fun, it's a responsibility--a shared responsibility, Kajeet wants parents and guardians to be involved too. Thus, Kajeet is designed to incorporate a full suite of tools to help families customize and manage every aspect of their Kajeet experience. For more on Kajeet's pay-as-you-go charges and monthly voice and text plans, see the Kajeet Service section below.

Phone Features The Rumor2 offers one touch access to messaging through a softkey from the idle screen and it automatically populates the messaging menu when the slider is opened. You can check e-mail from multiple accounts from familiar providers including Yahoo! AOL, Gmail and Microsoft Live, as well as check instant messaging services. To personalize the text messaging experience, the Rumor2 offers the ability to assign "text tones" to address book entries for audible identification of text message senders.
The Rumor2's face has a 240 x 320-pixel LCD (262K colors), five-way navigation toggle, soft keys, and numeric keypad, and it smoothly slides open to the left to reveal the QWERTY keyboard (which automatically switches the screen to landscape mode). The internal phonebook has a 600 contact capacity, each with space for seven phone numbers, three email addresses, one Web address, and one IM address.

LG 320G Prepaid Phone (Net10) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this phone and net10 pre-paid service because I was paying over $50 a month with AT&T's cheapest plan and was only using 100 minutes a month and a handful of texts. This is a great basic phone strictly for making calls and texts. It doesn't come with any minutes (except 10 bonus minutes for activation) but you can buy these cards pretty much anywhere that sells prepaid cards. The minutes are THE cheapest of any prepaid service and your minutes roll over each month. AWESOME! The phone doesn't look cheap at all. It is shiny, sleek and modern looking. The best deal on cards is the 300 minutes for $30 and 60 days of service. Thats $15 a month. Texts only use half a minute of time! One of the best things is that Net10 uses the AT&T network so you are covered everywhere and they don't charge roaming charges! If you are thinking of getting pre-paid service go with Net10, it is the best hands down!
